Today’s NYT Spelling Bee puzzle was a rewarding one, especially if you enjoy spotting action-based verbs and word extensions. With P placed firmly at the center, every valid word needed careful construction, and the presence of letters like W, R, and G strongly hinted that movement-related words would play a key role.

As always, Spelling Bee rules apply:

How I Solved Today’s Puzzle

I began by testing short, familiar words to confirm the flexibility of the grid. Words like PAIN, PAIR, PING, and WARP appeared quickly and helped me map out how easily the letters could combine.

From there, I shifted focus to verbs, especially those that could take -ING endings. With letters like W, R, and G available, it felt very likely that at least one high-value verb would stretch across most of the grid.

Once I started rearranging the letters more freely—rather than building outward from small words—the structure W-R-A-P-I-N-G stood out clearly. That moment unlocked the puzzle and confirmed that I was close to a full solution.
